It's going away now, but when I first left the classroom I had one heckuva tension headache. 
BUT, I think I passed. There was only one 10-point question that I'm not too confident about my answer on, but I know another student in the class felt that question and the one before it were both really hard and *he* has several years more experience in C than I do.
I ended up staying up until nearly 4 last night doing homework/practice problems (I couldn't sleep), then pretty much all of the day was spent working on my "cheat sheet" (a permitted 8.5x11 double-sided sheet of paper). I first did a hand-written one, written in close to 6-point font. But when I had 2 hours left before class, I decided to try typing them up. Using Adobe Illustrator, I was able to get about 3x the examples on one side of the paper, thus fitting all the examples I needed for my cheat sheet. And typing every function/program/example in to the computer gave me even more practice, so by the time the test came around I was doing better confidence-wise. I may not fully understand *why* some of the functions work the way they do or why they were used that way, but I could parrot them back.
Long story short (too late
), I think I did well on it, much better than I expected to do, and hopefully I'll still feel that way when we get them returned.
And maybe he'll even curve.
I'm going to go let my brain finish melting now. Thanks bunches for the good luck PD!!
